You consider yourself a Euro Focus fan, you bash the 2005+ Foci and you're supporting the 2008s?

You've gotta be kidding me! The 2005-2007 Foci are the SAME as the 2000-2004, with the only major differences being a newer powertrain and improved (not reworked for "comfort") suspension bits on the 2006+ models.

You're hating a car that is closer to your own than you want to realize or perhaps you're just blindly ignorant.

In the 2008 they go a decent-sized way along the path to nerfing the driver's experience for the sake of passengers. And, I reiterate, there is now NO direct connection to Ford of Europe's rally heritage with the discontinuation of the hatch. Love it or hate it, there is still a distinct following of the WRC in North America.

The Brits are having one hell of a laugh at us right now, and we (as North Americans) deserve it. We didn't speak up and we got OWNED.

Desisions were made on the 08 focus when you were still adding nights*** to your SPI. Ford doesnt care for the 3% (or whatever the stat is) that customise a focus.

Ford is listening, just not listening to us. ;)
